Swingball might have been all the rage way back when, but it’s still around and just as much fun. Yes indeed, if you’ve got a garden or even a small space that you can call your own, then Swingball is one of the best ways to make use of it. Needless to say in the current climate, Swingball is selling out faster than they can make Swingball sets.

Swingball is essentially a game of tennis against yourself, or someone else, by using a racket to hit a ball on a piece of string. That in turn is attached to a pole fixed into the ground. It’s simple, it’s safe and it’s actually exhausting if you’ve been stuck in doors for weeks eating chocolate digestives.

So, get one, get out there and start belting that ball to melt some body fat rather than the chocolate on top of your digestives with these amazing options.

You can also buy Swingball products aplenty at Argos but their website is being weird at present so you will have to go to Argos.co.uk and search for 'Swingball'.  We have politely asked them to sort themselves out.

Swingball central

Smyths Toys has created a veritable Swingball heaven with no less than seven variations on the ball-on-a-string theme, though some are waiting for more stock.

Fear not though, as while they're flying off the shelves, at the time of writing the current Swingball stockpile looks like this. 

There are also some Swingball options at Amazon.
